Sanjeev

Meaning of Sanjeev

Sanjeev brings a spark of vitality wherever it goes: with Sanskrit roots meaning “one who gives life” or “reviver,” this name literally carries a breath of fresh air. Pronounced sun-JEEV (/sʌnˈdʒiːv/), it’s been quietly earning fans in America since the late 1960s. With about 7–12 little Sanjeevs born each year and a steady rank between 760 and 920, it’s familiar without feeling ordinary—think of it as the indie favorite of the baby-name world. Parents who choose Sanjeev nod to South Asian heritage and a universal sense of renewal; plus, a cheeky nickname like “Sunny J” isn’t off the table. If you’re after a warm, uplifting choice that stands out just enough, Sanjeev might be your perfect pick.
